Lactic Acid Bacteria from African Fermented Cereal-Based Products: Potential Biological Control Agents for Mycotoxins in Kenya
(Journal of Toxicology, 2022)Cereals play an important role in global food security. Data from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization projects increased consumption of cereals from 2.6 billion tonnes in 2017 to approximately 2.9 billion tonnes by ... -
Lake Naivasha, Kenya: Ecology, Society and Future
(Freshwater Biological Association, 2011)We examine the degradation of the natural capital and ecosystem services of an important tropical lake, Kenya’s Lake Naivasha, in the context of human activities and exploitation since the mid-20th century. These factors ... -
A Levy Regime-Switching Temperature Dynamics Model for Weather Derivatives
(2018)Weather is a key production factor in agricultural crop production but at the same time, the most significant and least controllable source of peril in agriculture. These effects of weather on agricultural crop production ... -
LÉVY PROCESS BASED ORNSTEIN-UHLENBECK TEMPERATURE MODEL WITH TIME VARYING SPEED OF MEAN REVERSION
(Pushpa Publishing House, 2018)In this study we develop a Lévy process driven Ornstein-Uhlenbeck daily temperature model. The model takes into account a time dependent speed of mean reversion. It is statistically demonstrated that historical data and ... -
Limit Theory of Model Order Change-Point Estimator for GARCH Mode
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2018)The limit theory of a change-point process which is based on the Manhattan distance of the sample autocorrelation function with applications to GARCH processes is examined. The general theory of the sample autocovariance ... -
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Free Convective Flow past an Infinite Vertical Porous Plate with Joule Heating
(2013)This work addresses the problem of Magnetohydrodynamic laminar unsteady flow of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid past an infinite vertical porous plate. It investigates how joule ... -
THE MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE RAPID DISAPPEARANCE OF PESTICIDES FROM TROPICAL SOILS IN KENYA
(Toxicological & Environmental Chemistry, 2001)Results of field and laboratory studies on adsorption/desorption, leaching, dissipation, bound residue formation and metabolism of DDT, DDE, lindane, parathion, malathion, dimethoate and carbofuran in tropical soils in ... -
Male Circumcision: A Means to Reduce HIV Transmission between Truckers and Female Sex Workers in Kenya
(2022-06)Kenya records over 1.5 million cases of HIV-infected people with a prevalence of 4.8% among adults in 2019, ranking Kenya as the seventh-largest HIV population in the world. A recent study showed that 55.9% of Kenyan ... -
